Hands on a Hardbody - If She Don't Sleep Lyrics

Broadway musical (2013) Hands on a Hardbody - If She Don't Sleep Lyrics

(Don)You tried to find a job that paysWaiting around for better daysLife can get you down and that's a fact

But we always come up fighting, and life is plain excitin''Cause her and me, we got this little pact

If she don't sleep then I don't sleep

(Janis)If he don't eat, then I don't eat

(Don)And life is sweet with six kids almost grown

(Janis)It's true we may not have a lot

(Don)If I got squat, then she got squat

(Both)But we don't have to go through it alone

(Don)If you write her off then you'll regret itYou don't see the woman that I seeShe's stronger than most people give her creditPlus she's got her secret weapon, me

I told her"Janis, you gotta get used to the long hours in the heatYou been sitting under the air conditionersAnd she's spoiled on account I got a twenty-tonne unit on my houseMost people's only got three tonnes at the most, but me?I got a twenty

(Both)Twenty tonnes of airThe biggest thing you've ever seen

(Don)It used to cool a K-Mart that went bust in Abilene

(Both)It brings our house to twelve below and you can see your breath

(Janis)Yeah, we found out pretty quicklyIt would freeze the pen to death

(Don)I couldn't pass the unit upIt was too good a buyBut unless she got used to this heatI knew Janis would die

(Janis)He knew that I would die

(Don)At times, she stepped upsideShe'd turn red as a turnipI had to turn the heating offSo she wouldn't burn up

(Don)If she ain't cool

(Janis)If he ain't cool

(Don)Then I ain't cool

(Janis)Then I ain't cool

(Both)You'd be a fool to do this on your own

(Don)If she don't cryThen I don't cryI'll admit she's happySo, am IAnd she don't have to go through it alone
